Lagging legs

Olibobwa Posts: 123 Joined: 2006/06/12	2007/05/21, 09:52 PM Hi, I'm having problems with my legs lagging. I'm thinking of working legs on monday as well as thursday. Thursday is Heavy. If I work them out on Monday should it be heavy too, or something like a medium leg workout on Monday and heavy on Thursday? This is my split. Mon - Back Tue - Arms Abs Wed - Off thu - Legs Fri - Chest Abs's

The thing about that is even though tues is my easiest day it's also longest day. Mon, Thurs, and Fri usually only last about 45 to 55 minutes, but tues is always well over an hour. If I added my back routine to it I'd be working out for at least 2 hrs. That's why I wanted to know should both days be full intensity. If not, I can handle a medium leg workout after an intense back workout, and still go all out on Thursday. But if Ya'll think two intense leg workout's a week wouldn't be overdoing it I could move back day to tuesday and just kill my legs two days a week.:angry::dumbbell::angry:

For example: Monday: Posterior chain (deep wide stancebox squats, SLDL, Glute ham raise, leg curl, calfs) Thursday: Quads & Hip flexors (close stance front squats, lunges, leg extensions, leg raises) -------------- Mortal by birth.

You realize your hitting your arms everytime you do compound chest and back exercises, right? -------------- Mortal by birth. Strongman by the grace of god. Blood Guts Sweat Chalk
